Well it's official. I'm going to try and lose weight like Kevin. I had my first hockey game of the season on Sunday and I realized how dreadfully out of shape I am. I decided it is time to get my weight back down to where it was in high school. At the end of my senior football season, I was in the best shape of my life. I was runing and lifting 5 days a week and weighed about 245-250. Which was the most I had ever weighed, but at 6'4" that isn't bad, and I was actually pretty solid. I had plans to walk-on to the Football team here at CSU, and I more than likely would have made it. Once track season started in February I couldn't lift after school any more and no one wanted to lift with me after track practice, so I was only lifting 3 times a week, and only got anything done once a week. By the end of track I wasn't in very good shape. It got worse over the summer because I had work at the time my friends would go and lift and they didn't want to wait for me, so I rarely lifted over the summer, and once I got to school it got worse. I wasn't active at all.
A year and a half later I'm now 273.4 lbs. and in the worst shape of my life. I'm sick of it. Unlike Kevin I only want to lose 20-25 pounds in 6 weeks, which works out to about 3.3 to 4.2 lbs. a week, which I think is very do-able. I don't want to be skinny because I've always been the big kid, I just want to get in shape and be back to my normal size. Right now I have 2 hcokey games a week and I plan on swimming 3 days a week and I want to start lifting again. I'm not going to do any serious dieting, my eating habits haven't changed to much over the last year. I am however going to try to eat more fruits and vegetables and cut down on what little fast food I eat. Like Kevin I'll update here as I progress.
